order of network device names

I have a PC with two network adapters. In addition there is a PCMCIA
adapter hosting a WLAN card. The ethernet card provides eth0 and eth1.
When the system is booted without the WLAN card and the WLAN card is
plugged after booting it becomes eth2. But when the WLAN card resides
inside the PC it becomes eth0 and the interface which normally eth0 is
invisible.
How can I stop the automatic assigment and can it do manually?

I have forgotten to write that I'm using FC2

Check your scripts in /etc/init.d/ and let wlan come up AFTER the
network sctipt runs. Also, run nysysv and see what services you
bring up at boot.
